Why me? a story of all suckish things in life

Chapter 3 -Ashlen

Ashlen Marit 18

Ugh I thought while cleaning my room, Jewl is so unfair and always taking Addy's side it's so annoying I hate it. I never have my stuff it's always, oh Addy needs her shirt back, oh Addy needs her computer back, oh Addy needs her phone back. And everything she needs back is mine

I guess I should have expected this should've walked away when they pulled up, go live with my aunt in California, grandparents in Florida but no I wanted to live with my dad, in Washington, I love Washington but not my dad or step mom and step sister. Technically I could walk out the front door right now and leave, I am eighteen but I don't want to give Jewl a chance to grab me and pull me inside, but that b**** expects me to just give up my stuff for that ten year old brat Addy, I don't think so I'd rather die than give her my stuff

Just as I was ranting to myself, my phone flashed indicating I got a text

Hey. I saw it was sent five minutes ago from my friend Cody

Hey girly how are ya I laughed at my bad grammar.

Good, you? she asked

Fine as can be when my step mom is giving me crap

that sucks what for?

I didn't clean my room

how bad is it?

not very few clothes here and there a piece of garbage nothing insane

really? it's your room and frankly you are insane

Ok, nothing bat crap crazy

since when did you start saying "crap" so much?

sense my step mom  started giving me it

makes sense in a messed up way

Well I'm messed up

Yes you are. that's when my step mom came in, young lady you are supposed to be cleaning your room, ya little brat.

I kept texting I gotta go another lecture yippie

k text me

if I can.

That's when I turned my attention to Jewl, What the h***  I've been up here for fricking five minutes, you're acting like I've been up here for days without cleaning.

I gave you a roof when your mom died and all you do is complain.

The h*** I do, I was ready to go to college be on my own, and you all but forced me into your house.

You stay in here until you can talk to me without talking back. then she left, I grabbed a bag and started packing. I grabbed all my clothes, my computer, my phone, chargers, I grabbed a secret stash of food I had because sometimes I'll storm our at dinner, I grabbed the drinks to mostly soda some milk water, I grabbed my credit card, wallet,and some stuff to sleep in (sleeping bag, pillow ect...) and finally I grabbed all my money, even "borrowed" some of Addy's money and  looked around.

There I thought, I cleaned my room.

Yea I'll stay here when pigs fly and h*** freezes over. I didn't leave a note, but I left a copy of my legal birth certificate, I didn't want her to tell the police I was under age nope I was born in 2000 and its 2018 so I don't have to deal with Jewl or Addy or my Dad anymore, I got into my car that I bought with my money, I figured I'd go to California, get a job find my aunt beg them to take me in until I can get to college and live in peace, but as I was driving I thought of something that made me pull over, I couldn't leave my friends. They were the only things that kept me from leaving, how could I leave Cody, Lilly, and Max. We needed each other, to make each other crazy and wanna pull our hair out and stuff it in our ears, I needed them to keep me on the ground other wise I would float away and never come back, so I decked to check onto a cheap hotel and find out what I'll do in the morning.

You're lucky b****, another day to catch me.
